My Comment:  Keep your eyes on Israel, for while the world is distracted the push to divide Jerusalem is gaining steam.. Joel 3:2  I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

(Israel Today)  Israel’s cabinet has thrown its weight behind a bill requiring a large Knesset majority to approve a new division of Jerusalem, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is opposed to the motion, arguing that it will hinder peace efforts.

The bill would require the approval of at least 80 Knesset members (two-thirds of the 120-member parliamentary body) to even start negotiations leading to the division or relinquishing of even a small part of Jerusalem to the Palestinians.

The Ministerial Committee for Legislation backed the bill in a vote of 5-4 on Sunday.

Economy Minister Naftali Bennett (Jewish Home) said the vote was yet another reminder that “we won’t divide Jerusalem or negotiate the eternal capital of the Jewish people.”
